Rainbow Warrior in Patras, Greece

Rainbow Warrior arrived at her third stop of the Greek leg, the port of Patras, on the 18th of June. The highlight of the stop was an aerials performance by the extreme aerials dancer, Katerina Soldatou, on board the Rainbow Warrior, with the landmark bridge of Rio-Antirrio in the background. Katerina joined Greenpeace Greece's cause because no one has the right to destroy our planet and our climate. The purpose of the tour in Greece is to support local communities that are affected by plans for hydrocarbon (HC) explorations, to strengthen local initiatives and help them unite under a national climate movement umbrella. It’s essential for all elements of society to rise up and unite demanding climate action by the government. The tour will use this opportunity to suggest real and sustainable energy solutions in the form of collective energy schemes, that promote clean energy and mass participation of the society according to the principles of energy democracy.
